		<P>OpenDX is no longer supported by IBM; however, many of the developers still answer questions on the OpenDX mailing lists.</P>
		<H3><A NAME="HDRCOMSUP"></A>6.2 Commercial Support</H3>
		<P>A few vendors provide commercial technical support. One such vendor is <A HREF="http://www.vizsolutions.com/">Visualization and Imagery Solutions, Inc.</A> Other vendors can be found in the community links at <A HREF="http://www.opendx.org/">www.opendx.org</A></P>
		<H3><A NAME="HDRUSRSUP"></A>6.3 Support from the Data Explorer User Community</H3>
		<P>There are a number of resources that can be used to get support, information and publicly available software related to Data Explorer from other Data Explorer users. These include the following:</P>

				<DD>There are four mailing lists; opendx-dev, opendx-users, opendx-general, and opendx-announce. If you want to subscribe, just send a mail message to &lt;majordx@opendx.watson.ibm.com&gt; with the following in the message body (not the subject!). (The &quot;end&quot; keeps Majordomo from trying to treat any signature text as commands.)<BR>
